Politics in the Matrix: Trump won't prosecute Hillary Clinton
By Jon Rappoport
"If Donald Trump can help her [Hillary] heal, then perhaps
that's a good thing to do." ---Kellyanne Conway, former Trump campaign
manager
Donald Trump achieved two great things in his presidential
campaign: he stopped Hillary Clinton from occupying the White House, and
he ran against the media by attacking them mercilessly.
Everything else is up for grabs. We will see.
Already, he has made some "errors." The appointment of Mike
Pompeo as CIA director is a bad move. Pompeo, as a congressman,
introduced the Dark Act, which now prevents the states from requiring
GMO labels on food. And he favors the death sentence for Edward Snowden.
Multiple media outlets are reporting that Trump will not
attempt to prosecute Hillary Clinton. This is on the level of lowering
the window shades for a vampire as dawn breaks. Hillary was certainly
guilty in the email case, and the Clinton Foundation is a pay-for-play
money laundering operation of global proportions---a private and
parallel State Department, in which cash is the only standard for
"diplomacy." And these charges are mere low-hanging fruit on the Clinton
crime family tree.
Pursuing justice is supposed to be a Trump hallmark.
Politics in the Matrix is a tap dance and a shuffle. Deals
and compromises are made all the way along the line. Washington and its
media allies suck their very life juices from those deals. Like some
fungus, they thrive in the dark every-day corruption of This traded for
That. In many ways, Trump exclaimed he was above the game. The deals he
was going to make would all be on the side of benefiting America---so he
has a price to pay for asserting he was most definitely a different
character on the political scene.
That unbridled assertion was what drove huge numbers of
people to show up at his rallies all over the country. They wanted an
outsider who had a serious ax to grind with Washington and the media.
They wanted him to be angry and outraged---because they were, too. They
didn't want a great healer, because justice comes before healing.
Many of them had felt the effects of Globalism and its
grotesque trade treaties. They were out of work, and he was going to
bring back jobs. But that wasn't their only motivation. They knew their
jobs had been stolen by anti-American elites, and they wanted the sword
of justice to fall on those elites. They knew Hillary Clinton was an
arch-Globalist.
For these millions of Trump supporters, forgiving and
forgetting and moving on isn't presidential. It smells bad. They were
never part of the glazed-over New Age crowd, and they aren't now. The
cheese-glob "coming together" isn't in their lexicon. They don't view
anger as a character defect or a "compensatory" response that traces
back into early childhood. They want bad people to pay for their crimes.
Hillary Clinton would be at the top of their list. Helping
her heal is a sick joke. They want her in prison where she belongs. They
know her constant vapid calls for "national unity" during the campaign
were a straight-out con, a cover for her lust for power.
They see nothing redeeming about her. It's simple: she fights the good and embraces evil. Therefore, she should be punished.
Doing so would set an example and a course for the Trump
administration: we don't back away, we don't back down. We aren't
separating "campaign talk" from presidential action. We're not trying to
make that phony distinction.
If Trump prosecuted Hillary to the full extent of the law,
then of course the owls would come out hooting: he's vengeful; he can't
let go; he's mean; he's spiteful; he's a cruel sadist; this goes beyond
any civilized sense of propriety befitting a real leader.
Yes? And? So?
So what?
Is Trump the same man now that he was when he was campaigning?
Even asking that question seems naïve, because of course we
know all politicians rearrange themselves after they win a victory. But
Trump portrayed himself as very, very different. He stood on that
difference. He celebrated it. He reveled in it. He took great pleasure
in it.
Now, he has to pay the price.
His supporters don't want to hear some garbled nonsense about
how prosecuting Hillary would create a giant distraction from the job
of leading the country. Trump's whole campaign was a distraction from
politics as usual. That's what gave him strength.
Prosecuting Hillary Clinton now would be counter-intuitive
and outrageous, and therefore it would be the most Trumpian thing Trump
could do.
It would give him more support from his millions of people.
And it would be right and correct and it would deliver justice where justice has been needed for a very long time.
And when the whole host of sordid details about Hillary's
crimes came spilling out into the light, people who pride themselves on
being in the camp of the "beautiful and virtuous" would realize who they
have been defending.
It would provide a valuable lesson, and the price of
admittance to that show would trump the decades of waiting America has
endured in the case of The People vs. Hillary Clinton.
This case has now been canceled.
Donald Trump achieved two great things in his presidential
campaign: he stopped Hillary Clinton from occupying the White House, and
he ran against the media by attacking them mercilessly. Failing to
prosecute Hillary is not a great thing. It is a very bad thing.
Coda: I sense there may be a little side-op here. Trump's
special advisor and inside man, innovator, media-attacker, and Breitbart
editor, Steve Bannon, most certainly opposes the move to let Hillary
off the hook. Is this a signal that Steve is out of the loop, or out
altogether? He's the most dangerous threat to the big media oligarchy.
